PIRELLI SCORPION XC RC TEAM EDITION 29X2.2 (çift 2 adet)

The Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RC Team Edition 29×2.2 is the lighter, more agile version of Pirelli’s premier XC race tire. The “Team Edition” is instantly recognizable by the iconic yellow logos on the sidewall, matching the tires used by the Trek-Pirelli and Wilier-Vittoria professional teams.

Compared to the 2.4″ version, the 2.2″ width is focused on pure speed, weight reduction, and efficiency on smoother, less technical race tracks.

Quick Specs: 29×2.2 Team Edition

Key Features for 2026

• The “Race XC” Compound: The newest models (2025/2026) use the Race XC compound, which is derived from Pirelli’s motorsport experience. It offers a 7% reduction in rolling resistance compared to the original SmartGRIP, specifically tuned for racing speeds.

• The “Yellow Label” Aesthetic: Beyond looking “pro,” the Team Edition designates that these tires use the most advanced carcass and compound configurations available from the Pirelli factory.

• LITE vs. ProWALL:

  • LITE: This is one of the lightest 2.2″ tires on the market (~610g). It is designed for maximum “suppleness,” meaning it deforms easily over small bumps to maintain speed. It is best for riders who prioritize climbing and low rotating mass.

  • ProWALL: Includes an extra layer of woven nylon on the sidewalls. Even in the 2.2″ width, this is the better choice for marathon racing or technical courses where “pinch flats” or sidewall cuts from rocks are a risk.

2.2″ vs. 2.4″ – Which is better for you?

• Choose 2.2″ if: You use narrower rims (23mm–25mm), race on groomed or sandy trails, or are a “weight weenie” looking to build the lightest bike possible.

• Choose 2.4″ if: You use modern wide rims (28mm–30mm) and want more “mechanical grip” and comfort on technical rock gardens or roots.
